The introduction of new industries in the
South, from the gigantic mining plant,
marble quarry and buzzing cotton mill to
the smallest labor-saving invention which
multiplies values and diminishes expense,
furnishes the best criterion of the advanc-
ing prosperity of this section of the Union.
Macon, especially, has taken a new depart
ure in that direction, and presents a bright
example TO her sister cities of the Empire
State of the South" In that rising centre
of trade there are more than thirty manu-
featuring enterprises that give employment
to hundreds of artisans, skilled mechanics
and day laborers. They include quite a
variety of manufactures with long weekly
pay roll for the operatives which, when
cashed, goes far to keep In motion the
wheels of commerce.
Prominent among these industries stands
the Eureka Manufacturing Company"
which was established in December, 1856,
for the production of ball and canned pot
ash, and concentrated I've. Beginning in a
modest way, the business soon assumed such
proportions that it became manifest that
the works would require to be largely ex-
tended. Accordingly, a convenient and
cOmmodious structure, of ample dimensions,
erection. The material is brick, of the best
quality, and the edihce now rapidly APP
preaching completion will present an i'm
posing appearance.
None but skilled experts are employed by
the company, and they have brought the
speciality manufactured to the very
highest degree of excellence.
following: Eureka, ""Samson, i" and "Good
Luck" which are all warranted to give abb
solute satisfaction to the trade and con-
sumers.
These goods have been tested in nearly
every town and community in the South,
and pronounced equal in every respect to
any manufactured in the United States.
The demand for them, which is steadily on
the increase, shows the great estimation in
which they are held All the leading whole
sale grocers of this section handle them, and
they are also very generally sold by country
dealers. The company is possessed of album
dant means to prosecute the business with
the utmost energy, and have already made
a signal success of it.
Some of the principal distributing points
are Savannah, Augusta, Macon, Charles
ton, and Jacksonville, Fla. The
goods of the concern are neatly
and securely packed in white
pine cases, and the cans dressed up and
ornamented in the most attractive style.
One of Macon's most enterprising young
merchants, Mr.. Thomas w. Troy, is the in
defatigable general agent of the company.
All orders for goods from country mer-
chants should be sent to the accredited
agents in any of the above designated cities,
or to the general headquarters at Macon.
The company have several live represen-
tatives on the road, who penetrate every
portion of the South, but more especially
Florida, Alabama, North and South Caro-
lima and Tennessee. Their goods have also
obtained solid footing both in the North
and West, as is evinced by the heavy orders
received from Chicago, Philadelphia, Louis
vile, and other remote points. 1t is not I'M
likely also that ere long the operations of
the company will include the manufacture
of soaps of every variety. With the ample
means at command there is little doubt that
the project, if inaugurated, will prove highly
successful. We commend this, and every
similar enterprise for the development of
the South to the support and patronage of
